snotty nose - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I got a question for all. Sakura has always been a reverse sneezer but about Thursday night she started doing it more and with a snotty nose. Now I didn't think anything about because that is when I started cleaning up (due to the fact we have a mouse in the house

) and stirring up a lot of dust and my allergies have been in full swing because of that. Also on the 14 she had her one year shots and work up. In which the vet gave her the kennel cough vaccine which is now why I'm worried. She isn't coughing just a lot of snorting and reverse sneezing. She is eating and drinking fine and very active. So could it just be a because of all the dust I have been stirring up or something else?

If it's clear mucous, that's a good sign, but if it turns cloudy or colored, that's a sign of infection. I would watch her, if it gets worse as in a greater amount or changes color, or if she stops eating and/or drinking, or acting lethargic, I'd have a vet check her. Mucous can come from allergies, but be aware that pneumonia starts out like this.

Ok thanks for the info! It is clear and she didn't seem to sneeze or snort as much during the day today. Thanks again!
